After two weeks of play the Brewers and Union remain undefeated, but not without their trials in this young season; here is the roundup for week 2:

Engineers

0

Butchers

12

Goals: Brisket (1); Take Outs: Meathook (2), Boiler (1), Ox (1)

Butchers visit the Engineers and quiet the crowd! Meathook had two take outs, while Boiler and Ox both had one and Brisket sealed the deal with a goal! Those Butchers avenged their loss against the Union but the Engineers couldn’t keep their momentum going from their nail-biter against the Fish. Butchers get the road win to get their firs win of the season.

Union

12

Morticians

0

Goals: Mist (1); Take Outs: Rage (3), Decimate (1)

The Gravediggers visited the Mercenaries in a grudge match to settle some scores!! Blackhearts crew came to play with an early take out by Rage who expunged Ghast and shortly thereafter Decimate dispatched Dirge. This lead to some early ball control for the Morticians but it mattered not as Gutter pulled in Casket which ended in another take out by Rage. After a quick icy sponge Ghast came right back into the middle of the action and knocked down Gutter and Decimate which allowed Silence to take advantage, he Tucked Decimate and Shut Out Gutter. Things looked good for the Morticians with Obulus dribbling up the middle and Bonesaw open for the volley, but he missed!!!! The ball careened back into the middle to be taken by Mist who quickly scored. To finish Rage took advantage of the distraction down field and took out Ghast for the second time and the win.

Fishermen

12

Alchemists

4

Goals: Shark (3), Midas (1)

Alchemists visit the Fish but were held down by the tidal wave of Shark! Shark opened up the scoring on the first turn leading to a goal from Midas in the second turn. Shark responded quickly, got the ball right back up the field and scored for the second time; this time catching the Alchemists In The Net! Calculus got the ball off the goal kick but was Lured in by Siren and Kraken took advantage of it to knock her down. Greyscales picked up the loose ball, passed it to Shark who missed the snapshot!! Not to worry for the Fish fans, they won the initiative on the following turn and Shark made up for his miss by scoring his third goal; the game winner.

The Masons visit the Brewery to try to take down the hometown heroes as both teams rolled in on winning streaks and both look to capitalize on their momentum. The Brewers started with the ball but they seemed to be drunk as they missed a few passes but eventually Friday got her liquor under control and scored. She then stole the goal kick back from Tower on the second turn but missed the goal! Mallett capitalized and put her into the dirt. Flint picked up the loose ball, brought it up the field trying to use Tapper as a momentum builder but Tapper had none of that and disallowed the goal. Spigot and Tapper then combined to take Flint down, and shortly thereafter Stoker then took out Marbles who was trying to help out Flint. The Masons would not go quietly though as Mallett avenged his monkey friend by taking out that sneaky cat Scum. Friday collected the ball after Flint’s demise and came into score but missed again! This left the demoralized striker in range of Honor and Friday was taken out once again. Mallett, after collecting the loose ball from Flint, brought it up the empty left flank and scored; meanwhile Stoker lit Brick on fire and who eventually succumbed to the burning. Tapper collected the goal kick, beat on Honour then passed to an open Friday who was finally able to land the game winner!

A medieval sporting tradition comes to the northeastern gaming club; this winter the eight Guild Ball clubs will be battling it out over a 14 week season to see who is the best! Each guild will play each other team two times, and at the end of the regular season the top 4 teams will advance to the playoffs!

The weekly results and standings will be posted here on our website along with our league leaders in goals scored and take outs. Our goal is to explore the matchups and create opportunity for new players to try new teams, so we are not going to structure this in a traditional way. Each week we will all coach a new team, so that we all get to try all the guilds by the end of the season. At season’s end not only will we crown a Champion guild but we will also pick an All-Star team: the All-DOGC Guild Ball team.

We look forward to having you follow us along our inaugural season for all the cheers, jeers, and icy sponges!!!

Today we meet out heroes for the first time. While they don’t yet know each other, their journey has begun…

~~~~~

We join the story in the Five Fingers where one of our heroes, Taiga, is seeking information around the city that may lead to the whereabouts of his sister, Kyrthea. After a few days and a few gold crowns spent, he was directed towards the home of a known information broker; a man named Owen Winston. He makes his way immediately to the Winston Manor where he is greeted by Percival Winston, son to the master of the house, where he is surprised to learn Owen has been murdered. Taiga is invited into the home where he meets a portly little man named Nigel, another of our esteemed heroes; he is an investigator who has been hired to find out the details of the death of Mr. Winston. Now at what feels like another dead end, Taiga offers his aid to both Percival and Nigel figuring it may be the best way, at this point, to find the next clue to solving Kyrthea’s disappearance.

After reviewing the crime scene, Nigel concluded that Owen’s death was clearly the work of a professional. Furthermore the assailant probably made entry through the window and left the body for quite some time until Percival found his father. While Nigel scoured the crime scene, Percival searched his father’s belongings, looking for any scrap of information that might help to illuminate why he was killed. Percival’s search is inconclusive but he does uncover one important fact: Owen had been receiving death threats which originated from the East, in an area south of Tarna. Percival had no more information to offer, as such Nigel requested to exhume Owen’s body. Percival reluctantly agreed to allow the still fresh corpse of his beloved father to be examined. Through some ”forensic” work on the body by Nigel, it was discovered that Owen was tortured before he was executed and the torture was meant to inflict maximum pain. Working alone, Nigel furtively cast a necromantic spell to contact Owen’s departed spirit. Wailing and angry, the remnant spirit of Owen managed to sputter out a name: Marshall Reed. Not wanting to reveal his dark arts, Nigel keeps this name to himself.

…

Out in the Gnarls, Zebalon the witch doctor, and his Bogrin posse, were inspired by the lure of manifest destiny to expand their empire. Zebalon found interlopers stomping through his swamp unexpectedly, men in blue uniforms which looked to be tasty morsels. Zebalon had the men followed back to an outpost that looked to be where they were camped; Zebalon decided the encampment would make a more proper home for him and his posse! With his mind made up he sent his pet Boneswarm in to ravage the outpost! After his Minions were done, there was not a single soldier left alive. Zebulon, content (for now), enjoyed a feast of human flesh to celebrate his new home.

…

Across the dense forest of the Gnarls, we meet more of our heroes from a savage Tharn tribe called the White Maw; Calder a rare human amongst these savages who is always accompanied by his two Ravager cohorts. We find the trio as they are summoned by their leader Chief Karak, of the White Maw. They are being tasked to investigate the rumor of human military encroachment around the Leylines of Circle Orboros within the region. They set out on their mission quickly and decided the best place to garner info was a local trading post called Hoval in the eastern Gnarls. Hoval attracts all walks of life from the Iron Kingdoms and the wilds; local information about the goings on of military activity in the area would likely be found here. While scouting the outpost from the perimeter they witnessed the execution of a Pygmy mercenary named Gullin. They found out he was the leader of Unlikely Heroes Company; it was quite the scene taking place right in the middle of the busy trading post. Turns out Gullin was killed by a rival mercenary company called the Black Hounds. Later, outside town limits, Calder and his hunters encountered the very same warband led by a man named Marshall Reed. The conversation was tense, and ended in an exchange of false information; Calder and Marshall parted ways with quite a distaste for each other. Despite the conversation being short, Calder did discover that Marshall Reed is looking for Zocha, a self exiled Blood Weaver from the White Maw tribe; however curios, Calder knew that was not the mission at hand.

The expedition was taking longer than expected and they were no closer to resolving their mission; Calder knew things needed to progress more quickly. As such he decided to find a nearby Stone Site, a Druid Sanctuary where information can be exchanged, beings are teleported, and even healing can occur. Gifted Druids can tap into the Ley Line connection and access some of these powers; Calder is one with just such the gifts, however unrefined they may be. He was able to gain information that directed him to head north on the railway that heads due south from Point Borne, and so they did.

The Tharn Cadre attacked the outpost with intentions of capturing one soldier to get more information. The attack went wrong when they underestimated the size of the force inside. Calder was severely wounded but, after a pitched battle, the Hunters overran the force and got Calder clear before his grievous wounds bled out. Thwarted for now, they would have to fall back to the forest to come up with a new plan or await unsuspecting reinforcements so they could try again. For now, they live to fight another day…
